NCT ID NCT06263842
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new method for placing dental implants right after tooth removal. 63 patients received implants using either a standard socket shield technique, one with a xenograft (animal bone), or one with a graft made from the patient's own tooth. The goal was to see which approach gave the best implant stability and gum appearance.
